Hi,
Ok after the breakthrough regarding the ROM updates for QTEK 1010 and it was first revealed here on xda-develpers.com we have some new options in the QTEK now one of them is the WM.
Did anyone manage to use the Wireless Modem via IRDA because its not working the first thing is that the computer is seeing the device on infrared but not as a modem and i dont have an *.inf file to indentify it. If anyone managed to use his QTEK or any XDA via infrared to connect his laptop to the internet using GPRS plz explain how.
thanks

Install software at own risk, but this exposes a permanent COM port using IrDA. Also nukes Wireless Link in the process.
Setup a manual modem, select the COM port from above, presto!
Ummm its a good idea but i am not sure if this will work on Windows XP... what do you think?
it does
it does, but as with all things apply with care
Tried it
I tried this a long time ago, IRCOMM2k works on XP but the problem is that i couldn't figure out how to setup a IR generic Modem working on that port.
Yes please, this is a good article,
I installed the ircomm2k on my XP, but how to configure the connection from my laptop to connect to the internet via my XDA PDA as an external modem?
to setup xda as a modem
1. Install Ircomm. note which com port is assigned as permanent.
2. Add new modem: standard 33600
3. Select com port from item 1 as the com port of choice
4. Edit modem profile in devices settings, in Extra Initialisation Commands add AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name"
5. VERY IMPORTANT: set flow control to OFF
6. Set port speed to 115200 ONLY
Set up a Mobile Web net connection as per your operator
Select your above modem
Align xda with irda port; select start on Wmodem app
Double click Mobile Web connection.
Surf. It's OK but not as fast as a GPRS card.
OR you can wait for O2 to eventually post some instructions...
Thank you very much for your feedback
I did all what you asked me to do, but its not working it gave me an error message:
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device).
I replaced AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name" BY AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn01" same as Im using in my PDA. Am I right?
Something I didn't understand in your reply:
(Set up a Mobile Web net connection), you mean a normal dial-up connection?
One more thing, what do you mean by (select start on Wmodem app)?
Do I have to do anything in my PDA before I connect from my laptop? or do I have to do anything in my PDA configuration or connections settings?
Please help me, I want to use the Gprs on my laptop, no need to pay for 2 services, one for the PDA and other for my laptop

"select start on Wmodem app" - this means go into the Wireless Modem application on the xda, select IrDA (if thats now you are connecting) and then tap the Start button.
When you've done that, go the the DUN connection on laptop and connect as you normally do.
Unfortunatly I dont have "Wireless Modem application" on my XDA from where I can get it?
I thought the command was:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn name","",0,0
I don't know about the command but what Im sure about it is that wModem application is mandatory, so from where I can get it?

HI. I HAVE AN OLDISH LAPTOP RUNNING WIN ME. WILL IRCOMM2K WORK ON ME OR IS IT INTENDED (AS NAMED) FOR WIN 2K AND XP ONLY?

Hi
The wireless modem will be available in the next ROM update from the xda team. I understand that this will be released in the next couple weeks - they are in the final stages of testing.
We will highlight the new ROM on our homepage with a link to the downloadable files.

Hmm... really good question. ME is an update to 98 as I recall, but a clunky upgrade.
Way to check: Setup a new modem. When it asks which COM port you wish to use, if you can select Virtual Infrared COM port then it should work fine.
Get the instructions at www.o2.co.uk/xda on Help and Support.
Anyone know what the T-Mobile USA network connections for using WModem are?
For UK O2 they are:
Primary DNS - 193.113.200.200
Alternate DNS - 193.113.200.201
User name - O2Web
Password - password
Has anyone used wmodem in the US with T-Mobile as a service provider?
Thanks,
JP
Qtek as wireless modem
I also have oldish ME Laptop computer. I did exactly as described on O2 support site. It does not work. The modem on laptop immediately disconnects saying it's not responding properly.
I have tried several cooked versions of the 4..00.16 Eng T-Moble and the 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 roms and niether one installs the WModem app. Any ideas why?
I have a T-Mobile version of the PPC, radio stack 6.24
WM with old laptop computer
It worked for me. I could connect my oldish ME notebook computer to internet over gprs using WM in xda. I used the extra string from o2 and just changed the access point name.
It goes as this:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn"
It works, but the WM just stops responding the moment you disconnect the connection from PC. The PC waits and waits for the confirmation and then hangs up saying no reponse. But as long as you are connected it works very well.
Hi Guys
This is my very first post here, i had found your information and suggestion very useful up until now.
I just bought the GPS software navman today and just finished installing it, all went well, however when i try connecting it to the correct port i couldnt.
The problem is the Dopod 838 i have bluetooth setting only showing com6 and com7, no other com port there. My navman software have everything other com port but NO com6 and com7!!
I have trying searchng the forum but cant find any step by step guide to how to change the port on my 838.
Pleaes help urgently
Thank you in advance
Have you paired the gps and wizard? And assigned an outgoing com port (COM6) to the GPS? Remember to NOT check the secure connection checkbox. Then turn the wizard off and on again (or wait at least 15 seconds and soft reset). Now your sofware should see the com port. If needed, create an incoport on COM7.
i have the same problem with destinator pn.
i try to pair with holux gpslim236 and it says the com port could not be created please check your settings and try again
HI Tomasz
Thank you so much for responding.
Yes i have paired the 838 with my reciever Holux Slim 236. All pairing is working the problem is with my navman software, i have to set the com port to match my 838 which only have com6 and com7. My navman software does not have com6 or com7. It only have com1,2,3,4,9.
therefore i cannot match the com port.
Please help guys.
THank you
I have actually read some more in this forum and i have no activated the GPS setting in the control panel. i have set the program to com4 to corresponse to the navman software.
After doing all that i still cannot get it to work still wont connect!
please help guysss
Thank you
Just found out SmartSt V2 does not work with window mobile 2005
which gps software is compatible with my dopod 838? I'm located in Australia..
Please help
hi, i think u have to modify the *.ini* file (use a hex editor software) and in there u can change the com port there and that should work, also you need to follow the steps above as someone mentioned before regarding pairing it etc.....
Try "GPS Dash" to set your com ports.
did anyone figure out under which COM-port is hidden Hermes' internal GSM/UMTS modem? i've tried send AT commands to port range COM1-COM9, but no success..
something doesnt work correctly in wireless modem program. My pc doesnt recognize it like a i did with my universal or imate pocket pc
Hello all,
I am trying to write and application that opens a connection to the serial port, GPRS modem, and sends AT commands and receives any response.
I have a few questions;
1- I can open connection to 2 ports, named COM1 (or COM2 depending on the device) and COM9 (or COM3 depending on device). How can I be sure the device I am connected to is the GPRS modem?
2- When I try to write data, I have 2 results - first, device freezes without any response, and second, I get an IOException error.
Can anyone help me please?
I am using C# and Visual Basic .NET
Thanks,
